I looked it up. In the entire history of the NFL, only one other person has been an NFL HC for at least 15 seasons without winning a single post-season game -- Jim Mora. And Mor'a's 15 seasons as HC were with 3 separate teams. No one comes close to Lewis for surviving 15 years with a single team without a post-season win.

The NY press are all reporting the Giants are about to hire Patriots Defensive Coordinator Matt Patricia. Until I saw the stories I never even heard of him.

dad - what do you think? Good choice? Bad choice? Impossible to say for certain? And, have any of Belichick's assistants gone on to do well as a head coach? O'Brien did ok with PSU but he hasn't really set the world on fire in Houston. Charlie the Hutt was a bomb at Notre Dame. McDaniels bombed with Denver. I'm not optimistic here.

As with all coordinators, impossible to say for certain. The only Belichick assistant I can recall that had success as a HC was Nick Saban. But that goes back to Belichick's days in Cleveland.

Patricia is no dummy. He played football at Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute and got a degree in aeronautical engineering, but decided to go into coaching. He's been with the Patriots for 14 years. Like most Patriots coaches, he worked his way up from go-fer to position coach to DC. He has a reputation for being a solid DC, but his personality is a total mystery because Belichick doesn't let his coaches interact with the media. He's most likely being considered because of who he works for.
